JEREMY PAXMAN AND NICK GRIFFIN MEP

I've just watched the full programme, including Harman with her Stiletto badge and Simon Hughes with socks half-mast sitting comfortably with half the audience completely unaware no doubt of his disclosures on YouTube that he wants Muslims to "rule the earth including Britain", and I wondered whether I had ever heard a media interviewer ask him about that in any way at all?

Perhaps if he has been asked about that, then I may have missed it but somehow I feel no one has.

So once I'd listened to the preamble of a tour around Barking and Dagenham constituency with Richard Barnbrook, where I took note that he was funny, normal, human, reasonable, 'colour blind' and quaintly English. 

I then watched our leader in the studio.

As far as the interview went I was happy to hear Mr Griffin being given time to answer, and I was also happy to hear Jeremy Paxman make his usual inquisition in not too dissimilar way to any other parliamentary candidate who runs against what many might consider 'the norm' in political ambitions.

I was a little perplexed about his question of 'the medals' because surely there is no other politician drawing attention to either our troops, or to the wars they are engaged in or to the heroism they show in what is clearly an illegal occupation of one country and an arguably illegal war in another, not to mention the illegal separation of another country (Serbia-Kosovo), following what should really be at the door of an international court along with the others.

But by the by, Paxman went on and Mr Griffin gave straight answers.

He is becoming quite famous for his forthright and honest answers which haven't changed, and he is surely famous with us for delivering unswerving dedication to the core principle that this country is made up of indigenous people, integrated and settled civically British and immigrants.

Patently, immigrants had to migrate to somewhere and that somewhere had to exist, and it also had to be populated. So I find the question "who are the indigenous people", to be both unnecessary and inflammatory when Mr Griffin and others are constantly asked to explain who the hell we are when it is OBVIOUS.

I was also happy to hear Mr Griffin say that we are not seeking power at this election. Not because we don't want it or deserve it but because right now, I agree with him, that under the current system it would hardly be achievable. However that doesn't mean BNP will not carry weight of argument or will never gain power. It is (as I see it), the first main step in politics, to show the British electorate how much support (in numbers), there is for BNP policies. I think it is a steady path we are walking but we ARE indeed shaping a political future and we (he), is making politicians, the media and the establishment, THINK about the questions he is raising.

I think Mr Griffin is very realistic in what he sees can be achieved.

Overall, it could have been a bear pit but on this occasion it was not.

I think the audience were primed not to clap (or boo), and I think Mr Griffin could have been seated on his better side, and I think the interviewer could have relaxed Mr Griffin a bit more by NOT sitting forward like he does in what can appear to be confrontational at times, so body language on Paxman's part could have been better, but on the whole I think it was a damn good interview and I was pleased.

I look forward to more of Mr Griffin on TV and if he's treated better little by little as he was there, then I might even start watching telly again.

Well done Mr Griffin.
